Solution
Statement I incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation:
Cells in the G phase are far from dormant; they are metabolically active and often perform more intensive biological tasks than cells in later stages. Meanwhile, the S phase of interphase is the critical period for both DNA replication and centrosome duplication, providing the necessary components for the cell to eventually divide.
